Re: *PRTCTL file

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Although there is a CTLCHAR(*PRTCTL) for CPYSPLF to output to a 
[device or] database file, there is no equivalent CTLCHAR(*PRTCTL) 
support for opening a printer file [not a valid parameter value in 
either of CRTPRTF nor OVRPRTF]; there is however, *FCFC.  A program 
specific to that purpose must be used; i.e. a program that reads the 
first four characters of each line of data for both a skip-before 
control [first three bytes] and a space-before control [fourth byte] 
character, and then writes the data to effect the equivalent, either 
with or without forms-control characters.  I am not aware of any 
program as part of the OS to effect that.
